DBU REPORT 22 Rome and Athens The 21 students and four staff members who traveled all the way to Rome and Athens were able to experience many of the well-known settings referenced in the writings of Paul, Plato, Caesar, and Cicero. Surrounded by the sounds of the bustling city, students were given the opportunity to visit the Colosseum and Sistine Chapel, travel to Athens, explore the lively Acropolis, experience historic Mars Hill, and more. Israel To walk where Jesus walked is a profound experience. Over the winter break, 16 students from all walks of life joined Dr. Jon Choi and Dr. Shelly Melia on DBU’s beloved travel study trip to Israel. As they explored the Holy Land, students were given the opportunity to be re-baptized in the Jordan River, stand in awe on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, imagine Jesus’s teachings on the very grounds He taught them, and watch as countless Bible stories came to life before their eyes. Colorado What better way to kick off the New Year than skiing alongside fellow members of the Patriot family? Twenty-two students and four DBU staff members traveled to Copper Mountain, Colorado, to learn how to ski, explore exciting routes down the mountain, and spend time with friends old and new. While a number of students took the opportunity to fulfill their physical education course requirement, all in attendance were able to experience the beauty of God’s creation from atop Colorado’s stunning, snowy mountains.
